BiVjr Demand for
Kiddies to Rose
Before films
Jane and Katherine Lee, the Wil
liam Fox "Baby Grand" film stars,
have steadily developed as big attrac
tions in film.
There has been always, and espe
cially of late, a demand for young
sters who would act naturally before
the camera, act just as plain, every
day children not as actors or act
resses. In comedy roles they are
scarce as hen's teeth; they are usually
utterly ridiculous or absolutely flat.
It is in this naturalness their chief
charm lies. Film theater patrons see
in the little Lees just plain, every
day kids not actors. They are spon
taneousnot artificial and the many
humorous stunts they pull are done
just as normal kids would do them if
there wasn't a camera within a mile.
Kids "cutting up" before company
are never as genuinely interesting or
funny as when they arc alone or be
lieve they are no being watched.
In film comedy drama they are des
tined for big things, and they are
seen at their best in "Troublemakers,"
shewing today until Wednesday at
the Muse.
